Group pushes Proposition 1 ahead of November election By JoRDAN VAlloNE jvallone@liherald.com
The South Shore Women’s Alliance has reconvened ahead of the 2024 election, and held its reestablishment meeting at the Merrick Golf Course’s Clubhouse on Sept. 18.

president Donald Trump’s inauguration. Originally founded as a democratic women’s caucus, the group transitioned into what it is today — a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that advocates for issues important to not only women, but all voters in general. This is done through partnerships and activities with students, informative panels, and fundraisers for things that the group supports.

There’s no place like Merrick — but you don’t need us to tell you that. Whether you pledge your allegiance to Merrick or Clarke High School, Merrick is a place worth being immensely proud of. It is full of kind people, wonderful restaurants, historical hideaways — and so many other gems — that it’s no wonder how the community keeps on thriving. Merrick neighbors come together in times of need, because they want the best for not only themselves, but the people around them — their neighbors, their children and their friends. The Merrick Herald is your community newspaper. There is no other publication or news outlet that knows this town, its people and the things they care about, more than us.
